Question
beaker #2
- water concentration is highest:
in the cell in the solution they are equal
- the solution is:
hypertonic isotonic hypotonic
(color water dark blue) (keep same) (color water white)
- draw an arrow to show the movement of water.
- the cell will:
swell shrink stay the same size
beaker #3
- water concentration is highest:
in the cell in the solution they are equal
- the solution is:
hypertonic isotonic hypotonic
(color water dark blue) (keep same) (color water white)
Beaker #2
Question 5: Water concentration is highest:
To determine where water concentration is highest, we compare the water percentages. The cell has 75% water, and the solution has 60% water. Since 75% > 60%, the water concentration is highest in the cell.
A hypertonic solution has a lower water concentration (higher solute) than the cell. The cell has 75% water (25% solute), and the solution has 60% water (40% solute). The solution has less water (more solute) than the cell, so it's hypertonic.
Water moves from high to low concentration. The cell has 75% water, the solution has 60% water. So water moves out of the cell (from cell to solution) because the solution has a lower water concentration (higher solute, hypertonic), causing water to leave the cell.
